Will this camera record for over an hour without stopping, for instance to record something like a meeting?

Not with the battery that it comes with. That only lasts 20 minutes. You could do it if you plugged it in though. We recorded our Christmas morning for 2 straight hours.

It depends on the size of the hard drive you are using on the PC you are recording with. You can use the included software or any off the shelf IP Camera software. This is just a camera and does not record to itself. Usually you can estimate about 1GB per hour of recording on just about any camera with average quality settings. I would suggest adding a secondary hard drive dedicated to storing your video.

5 minute is the longest. It continues recording automatically. Get a good so card.

Yes, however you may want to consider purchasing a longer life battery if you want to film something that lasts longer than an hour or two.

This camera will record as long as it's connected to the power.there is no timer on it.

so, far recordings have been as long as needed. Longest recorded with this camera has been just over two hours. Hope this helps.

I only use it for short lectures/sermons, about 20-30 minutes, but my understanding is that it will record up to something like 2,000 hours with an added micro-SD card.

around 20-25 minutes, no matter how big your memory card is. It uses temperature sensing to cut off the video camera and prevent overheating. The camera will tell you exactly how many minutes and seconds it will record, before you press the record button.

I have not used it for 2 hrs straight but, I also own the larger Sony NP-FV100 battery pack. With this pack i was able to record (not continuous) a wedding and most of the reception before changing packs. The event lasted nearly 6 hours and with only 1 battery change during the reception I was able to capture everything. Hope this helps you.

It does have. One thing I don't like is that it can record up to 30 minutes at a time. So if you want to record longer than that, you need to stop at 30 minutes point (or automatically stops) and restart the recording.

Well, yes. It only gives you like 2 minutes of recording time without. If you buy a 16gb SD card, you get more than 2 hours of recording time.

It seems to stop the recording no matter which way I set up the software setting. You can tell the camera to use the internal battery or the grip first. With both batteries on I'm pretty sure I can film longer then my 32 GB card.

It will stop recording 30 seconds after it stops sensing motion. I hope that helps take care.

Unless you have the camera charging simultaneously, I would say no...based on the fact that the battery has barely lasted 3 hours recording intermittently.

I use it for recording for over an hour straight. You can record for 5-6 hrs as long as you have a way to have it plugged in while you are recording.

Yes you can, all cameras will do that. It is press and forget type of system - you press to record and until you press to stop record or the battery dies the camera will keep recording. You can throw it in the air or lower it into a pit - it will not stop recording.

I'm not sure about the record time, I would assume that would depend on your battery life and storage space. I haven't had an issue recording anything for the length of time that I have done it(never more than say 10 mins). The camera works great. I used it alot underwater and couldn't have been happier with it's performance.
